Not posting direct links to auctions is courtesy. I also wrote free software for the card to help others do capture with it, so piss off complaining.

Someone in germany just had a hard time selling the visionrgb-pro for 20 euros, so that's the cheap way.

Keep in mind that you can grab a datapath visionrgb-pro off ebay for $30 or less that has virtually pixel-perfect output in any dos mode without requiring extra dongles. You'll need pci, so either you have a modern motherboard with pci, or you get to do proper retro capture by sticking the card into …
Re: Voodoo 3 1000 (AGP), is it any good?

I measured the temps on a voodoo 3 some while back, and from what I recall, the heatsink was as hot as the back of the card, which I'm not sure suggests very good thermal transfer as far as the heatsink is concerned. But who knows.

Can't remember whether I've tried the g450, but the g550 had issues and didn't seem great for gaming.

The g400 max is about 10% faster than the regular g400. Nice, but not a huge deal. I got my regular 32-mb g400 for about five euros on ebay, while the max tends to be overpriced and uncommon in europe. I think price and availability favor the g400 vs the voodoo 3. Compatibility with games past 2000, …

With matrox, one driver handles everything. With nvidia, you need as many drivers as you have games. The voodoo 3 has worse compatibility than the g400 with newer games, ones released around 2000. The g400 with 32-bit color is almost as fast as the voodoo 3 2000 doing 16-bit color.

I don't get gamers. They could have a huge boost in visual realism if they allowed game developers to push down the resolution, but instead they want toy graphics with more and more pixels.

For older games, a matrox g400 is notably more compatible than the geforce 2 ti, and at 640 x 480 there's not much difference in speed.

Cool idea, though a vulnerable-looking setup. I'd feel compelled to walk dead in the middle down that hallway.

The specs say you can capture 1920x1080 at @ 60hz, but I can only get an unstable 51 FPS with it set to 4:4:4 colour mode at 8:8:8 it is an unstable 21 FPS. Hopefully it is a config or software issue and not a case of "it can capture 1920x1080 at @ 60hz, but can't output it" The windows command- …

You'll never be able to sample the whole domain, so of course you need to put up with approximations. I'd say gona's selection of tests is enough to separate the grossly incompatible from the very compatible. There's several variables at play that muddle the waters, but you can either squint or be …

Glanceability on the go is one of the use cases I had in mind, although I'm not sure how good the load times are. Spreadsheets are good if you want access to the underlying raw data, but they're more cognitively demanding, so having a lighter interface is useful. Some of the footnotes are included …
